Princip

 Winamop has published my short story on Serbian nationalist/terrorist Gavrilo Princip. This is the description on the website: 'Simon King transports us back to the early 20th century, to meet Gavrilo Princip. If the name doesn't ring a bell then maybe Archduke Franz Ferdinand will? Princip is the bloke who shot him; and we all know what happened after that!

Metternich

 Simon King is taking us back to the 19th century and we find ourselves in Brighton where we call in on former Austrian chancellor Klemen von Metternich, once a leading light in the "Concert of Europe".

Arius

 Winamop has published my short story on Cyrenaic presbyter and theologian Arius. Here's the description on the website: 'Simon King takes us right the way back to the first century when Christianity was in it's infancy. Here we find Arius who has some controversial ideas.' Except that that's wrong, as this took place during the fourth century AD, not the first, but nevermind!
